Over the past few weeks, while strolling around Sydney I’ve noticed many of the trees here are big on exfoliating and seem to be shedding their bark for summer. I kept seeing amazing pieces of bark littering the pavement and thought they were so beautiful I instantly wanted to do something with them.
So yesterday evening (under the cover of darkness, didn’t want the neighbours thinking I was totally bonkers!)I did a little “street combing” and with the help of a paper template made some little veneer butterflies. I have no idea what I’m going to do with them yet, but cute don’t you think?

can you start selling tree bark over the internet – I want to make some of your lovely butterflies! (or could you just make me some of your lovely butterflies?!).
Hope you’re having a great time and that Simon is getting on well with the French language!

[...] Now to be honest I’m not entirely sure where I stand on Wall stickers. I love them in Kids rooms and certain areas of the home but I’m not sure I would generally put them in a living room. I use then quite a lot in “update/makeover” shoots because they are so quick and easy and are of course removable without trace, which is what makes them so perfect for a rental property. I covered the old shoe boxes in wallpaper {a far trickier task than I had imagined!} so they now make slightly more attractive storage! I’ve also finally found a home for my little Bark Butterflies, remember them from here? [...]
